I had some discomfort in my mouth that was getting worse, so I went to the
dentist yesterday to check it out, and ended up with a root canal for my
troubles. The doctor asked if I had any health changes or something that might
help understand why a tooth that looks fine on an X-Ray taken in January would
have decayed so much, but we could come up with no explanation, other than this supports my mom's contention that amid all the positive traits I
inherited from her I also got some pretty bad teeth. Anyway, I'm glad I decided
to take care of this before it became an emergency, as the discomfort is
minimal, so I think I can stop taking the painkillers already (on a related
note, apologies for the two stories that were each posted twice here last
night).

Cute. Now that the enviro scare mongers have been proven wrong yet again concerning the local effects of the Deepwater Horizon spill they resort to a new tact to ramp up manufactured crisis and funding by coming out with this "deep sea ecosystem" crap.

Idiot eviro-fascists and their supporters who make these childish claims should suffer a class action lawsuit when they never come to fruition.
